Youth Conservation Camp applications are now available at the Tidewater Soil and Water Conservation District for Gloucester, Middlesex, and Mathews County students that are in the 9th -12th grade during the 2025-2026 school year.

Most of the instruction is hands-on and outdoors. Two students are chosen by Tidewater SWCD to attend this camp at Virginia Tech each year. Camp admission, meals and lodging during the camp ($550.00 value) will be provided by Tidewater SWCD. Transportation to and from camp is the sole responsibility of the camper. While at camp students will bunk in the college dorms and be involved in many activities and educational events.
